Looking at it a bit further, there is a small to moderate sized storm sitting off of Brazil that is sending fetch in our direction, but It doesn't look like a big enough fetch to provide us anything of significance.

I'd say usually once a year we see them. On it's own it's noticable, but hardly worth surfing, but if you're lucky and it combos in with a typical shot of south wind swell, it can make it quite a bit better than your average summer crap.

Completely agreed. As noted this doesn't happen very often, but if 2 ft of this southern stuff escapes the S Atlantic and heads our way and it arrives when there is 2 ft of local chop, you could have chest high sets.

looks like the center is heading towards Cape Town, but the outer rim extends outward almost across the whole south Atlantic. Northeast and Atlantic Canada will likely get some of this energy mid week next week.

We got swell in the carolinas from a similiar system right before bert I think it was that rendered some of the longest waves I've ever ridden at a certain SC spot w/ amazing but rarely realized potential

Thanks for finding that article on THE PREMIER obx report. The guys that run that site are pretty cool. So its the bathymetry that is going to screw us.. I didnt realize 20sec swell can hit bottom in 600 ft of water.
perhaps a giant floating portable beach to tow out to the shelf may be in order. maybe if we all pitch in like ten bucks..
